I want to play it safe and not use the latest version from svn, because the project is very active at the moment and I don't want to sit here and wonder whether the eventual compiler errors are my fault or a result of an incomplete commit there.

Problems with architectural chroot

First of all, it seems like the chroot isn't perfect. For instance, I can get an internet connection, so wget fails, and I also can't sudo.

As a consequence of that, the installation of packages has to be done from within the QEMU environment. A lot has changed since version 0.5.4b, so I'll stick to what their wiki says about what we need to install.
